Chapter 116: I'm Not a Child
Xia Wenjin smiled: "Then thank you for your concern." Let's talk about this later, today is the day of the release, hurry up and pack up and go see the excitement! ”
She was about to go out as she spoke, but Huangfu Jingchen grabbed her arm and said, "Wait! ”
Xia Wenjin struggled lightly, silently took off the range of his palm, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”
Huangfu Jingchen didn't care about this small detail, his face was a little solemn, and said: "Last night, I walked around the temple and felt that some places were very weird!" ”
"What's weird?"
Huangfu Jingchen muttered: "I can't say it well, but there are female dependents on this mountain!" ”
Xia Wenjin paused and said, "What's wrong with having a female dependent?" ”
Huangfu Jingchen reminded: "This is a Buddhist temple!" ”
Xia Wenjin said with a smile: "You forgot, today is the day of the lottery, and many pilgrims came early and wanted to ask for a sign today." Many people live in the temple. ”
"They don't live in this place!"
"That's nature, this is where the men live, and the women live here, how chaotic it is, there must be another place!" Xia Wenjin still thinks it's normal.
Huangfu Jingchen looked at Xia Wenjin with a look of indifference, and said anxiously: "But, but...... Those don't look like ...... Serious people! ”
Xia Wenjin's eyes flashed, he turned his head to squeeze his eyes at Huangfu Jingchen, and said with a smile: "Ah, Brother Zheng, now that you can see at a glance, which people are not serious people?" Tell me, what is called indecency? ”
Huangfu Jingchen's face was slightly cold, and he said, "You don't believe me? ”
Xia Wenjin said with a smile: "Believe, but I think it's very novel to say the three words that are not a serious person from your mouth, so I want to have a deeper understanding!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen's face was displeased, and he looked at her with doubts in his eyes: "For so long, haven't you always treated me as a child?" ”
She always looked at him with a hint of joke, banter, ridicule, and the eyes of the elders looking at the juniors.
Although she acts unscrupulously at times, she is always in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, which is a gesture of the elders to protect the younger ones?
Although she is very casual in her words and deeds, and she is very presumptuous when she jokes, when she really has something, she is actually very restrained and detached.
"Uh......" Xia Wenjin froze, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is, after all, when she died in her previous life, she was already twenty-five years old, and looking back at an eighteen-year-old man, wouldn't it be the same as looking at a child, but in fact, her current age is less than sixteen years old.
Huangfu Jingchen saw her hesitation, how could he not know what she was thinking, and said coldly: "I'm not a child anymore." ”
Xia Wenjin was stunned, looking at his resolute eyes, and then thinking about her mentality, she also felt that something was wrong, she smiled wryly and said, "That...... Probably because I have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and you are just out of the house, many things are too unfamiliar, so I have such a mind. A little, just a little ha! ”
Huangfu Jingchen has nothing to say, he just came out of the rivers and lakes, and he was deceived by her to the point that he even lost his clothes, all kinds of embarrassment, no wonder in her eyes, he was as naïve as a child?
Xia Wenjin saw that his face was not good, and he hurriedly said: "Actually, you are also very powerful, I have so much experience in the rivers and lakes, if you want to escape, there are really few people who can catch up, you actually chased me for hundreds of miles and did not chase me." It's me who preconceived, don't worry, it won't be in the future! ”
Huangfu Jingchen's face softened a little when he heard her say this, but after this incident, his mood was still a little sad.
Xia Wenjin's eyes blinked, his eyes rolled quickly, he got closer, pulled his sleeve and shook it, and said, "Tell me, what did you find?" ”
Huangfu Jingchen turned his head sideways, and saw that she was looking at him with shining eyes, and it was indeed no longer the eyes of adults looking at children, but with curiosity, inquiry, and a hint of flattery and a hint of asking for a truce, his mood suddenly calmed down, and said: "Last night, I didn't have any purpose to look casually, but on a roof, I faintly heard laughter, women's laughter. The day of the release of the lottery is approaching, and there are female pilgrims who go up the mountain to ask for a sign to borrow, which is also very normal, but I think the laughter is too undignified in the Buddhist temple, so I went to see it. I remember it was in the northeast, in one of the Zen monasteries, there were four or five women, dressed ...... Enchanting, frivolous, and laughing presumptuously, like ...... Like a person in a green building, there is a man's voice in the house......"
Xia Wenjin muttered: "Although some people come with their families to ask for a signature, they shouldn't joke in the temple, it's really a bit strange, but ......" She paused and looked at Huangfu Jingchen: "The person we are looking for must not be among them!" ”
Huangfu Jingchen said: "Why? ”
"Those missing village girls are all daughters of ordinary farmers, like you see, dressed bewitchingly, with frivolous expressions, and taking the initiative to serve others, they shouldn't be able to do it."
Huangfu Jingchen also nodded, and said with a serious expression: "So there are only two possibilities, either someone really came with their dependents, but they didn't care about the pure place of the Buddhist temple and did nothing; There is another kind, that is, those women, who are the daughters of Qingylou, were taken up the mountain. ”
A light flashed in Xia Wenjin's eyes, but he looked at Huangfu Jingchen and said, "So, what you want to say is ......"
Huangfu Jingchen's face was a little more solemn, and he said slowly: "This Shi'an Temple is famous, it should be a serious and regular temple, if our guess is true, then there are only two possibilities." Or there are people in the temple who are unruly and have chaotic management, so that people who are reckless have an opportunity to take advantage of it; Or...... This temple has a problem with the whole thing! ”
Xia Wenjin's eyes were slightly deep, nodded heavily, and said, "Let's check carefully, but now, let's go and see the signing conference first." ”
Huangfu Jingchen lowered his eyes and saw a hint of a smile in Xia Wenjin's eyes, but it was no longer a joke, but an equal, soliciting gaze, and a kind of depression and dissatisfaction that he had caused before because Xia Wenjin treated him as a child suddenly disappeared, and his mood suddenly brightened.
In fact, he said this just now, of course, because Xia Wenjin's eyes looking at his juniors made him feel a little dissatisfied and unhappy in his heart, but why didn't his mentality change and he didn't want to be despised by her?
He understands very well that the reason why Xia Wenjin treats him as a junior is nothing more than some of his behaviors, which look naïve in her eyes.
After all, in front of a person with rich experience and experience in the rivers and lakes, his behavior as a novice in the rivers and lakes must be very naïve.
He will work hard to change his image in her eyes.
He should not be regarded by her as a junior, as a child, as a naïve person. Then, he has to stop his behavior from being simple and naïve.
